England’s Stolen Children – Controversial New Documentary On Forced Adoption

The French media have been fascinated for some time by England’s use of Forced Adoption, as a country very much in the minority in how they apply this controversial approach to vulnerable families. The latest documentary from France on this topic has been produced by France 5 and is called “England’s Stolen Children”. It airs tomorrow evening, 7.40pm UK time.

“This documentary tells the story of the thousands of children unjustly removed from their families. It chronicles families’ terrifying experiences of children taken at birth, the promise of future removal whilst mothers are pregnant and the threat of removal directed at women who have not yet had children, solely on a suspicion of future harm to the child.

The setting for this documentary is not a lawless, tyrannical country where child rights do not exist – these tragedies are unfolding in a State which is bound by European legislation and is one of France’s neighbours: The United Kingdom.

The film reveals an unthinkable practice: every year, Great Britain sets quotas for the number of children it must remove from parents in order to facilitate adoptions. If these quotas are not met, the local authorities have to pay financial penalties and their budget is revised and ultimately decreased.

Private sector companies, sometimes listed on the stock exchange, are often tasked with placing children with adoptive parents. Children are “advertised” by these agencies, their details completely exposed and publicly available, with descriptions which include ‘sellable’ qualities such as positive personality traits.

Last year, 7,740 children were waiting to be adopted by couples who trawled the internet searching for their ideal child. Sometimes, these children are placed in well-to-do households. Most of the time, these children are sent to live in unstable family settings.

Maltreatment in the context of Great Britain’s Forced Adoption practices does not need to be evidenced. A suspicion of future maltreatment raised by social services is all that’s needed for a child to be taken away from their parents forever. In Great Britain, child protection has become skewed by a broadbrush perspective which presumes that struggling families and single mothers can never provide stable homes or make good parents.

This Human Rights scandal in the heart of Europe stays hidden inside Britain’s borders. The law prevents parents and journalists from telling these stories, with the threat of jail if they break their silence. They don’t even have the right to mention the name of the child that’s been stolen.

In an attempt to save English families from this terrible tragedy, a former businessman and millionaire helps families unjustly threatened with the removal of their children to escape Britain, and resettle in other countries like France.

More than two million children are trapped inside social services across England and Wales, their parents locked inside an administrative machine gone mad. Created in 1989 during a liberal government overseen by then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, which aimed to liberate the ‘working classes’, The Children Act gives child protection services the power to remove children from parents on a mere suspicion of maltreatment, present or future. “

There will be many who will agree with the view of this programme, including me, but I cannot see that it is a ‘terrifying experience’ for a baby to be taken at birth, but for the mother and often the father, certainly so.

All that really matters is that the programme forces debate, and brings change. I am hoping that Britain will be shamed into doing so. For far too long children have been taken to satisfy targets and the long-term damage to our children, to the parents, and to our society as a whole, has been ignored. Our whole system needs to be taken to the European Court of Human Rights, and I say this as a Brexiteer! There will then be needed a type of ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ process, just as much as there was in South Africa and in Northern Ireland. it cannot come soon enough.

Hi Roger I was born in N. Ireland and live here and trust me your wrong about their being ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ process, many called for it but it never happened just cover up after cover up for victims especially from the MOD MI5 police government etc etc the victims have/are being treated in an appalling manner by the political class a disgrace but to a large extent I believe that the so called peace process has made campaigners for social justice for stolen children despair as media stance is to ‘not rock the boat’ especially when police involved and bags of political interference.

Hello. Sorry to be so tardy in replying. I thought I saw Archbishop Tutu on T.V. helping to reconciliate those who had lost family through loved ones and those who perpetrated the atrocities. Whether I did or not, most certainly with this adoption scandal, we will need a truth and reconciliation procedure, with no cover-ups. The media can be a powerful ally, but also a powerful foe if they are leaned on by more powerful forces.

When a child is removed a birth research shows also the trauma the babies suffer themselves and in later life. I suppose those those with no children seeking to remove wouldn’t know this,and very sadly adopters should know this also. It’s a very good program,may I also suggest Traffic 1&2, very disturbing for any mother/father/family to got through but most of all the newborn babies themselves and any other child.

Taking children from law abiding citizens is always wrong ,but giving them away like little Xmas présents to be forcibly adopted by strangers is doubly wrong,;plus taking away kids purely because of vague prophecies by social workers of possible future risks that may never happen triples the wrong .
It was a great privilege to be invited by french tv channel 5 to take part in this programme ;;Both the film and the debate.show clearly how our UK social services and our UK family courts are regarded by neighbours………
IAN

It is fimed in french with the English speakers dubbed into French.The debate after the film is entirely in french but I think both will shortly be available in English.
THE TV BROADCAST BROKE ALL RECORDS FOR CHANNEL 5 by hundreds of outraged french viewers protesting about the barbarity of UK social services.
The children Act 1989 first gave authority for the permanent removal of children who had suffered significant harm or who WERE LIKELY TO DO SO !!
The film “minority report” starred Tom Cruise in Washington 1n the year 2054 under a regime where 3 gifted humans foretold the future so accurately that citizens were arrested and confined BEFORE they could commit the crimes foretold ! This incredibly is what happens when babies are taken at birth from mothers by social workers (supported by judges) who claim also to be able to foretell the future !

Much of the world already knows this, but the powers that be in the UK just bury their heads in the sand, unable or more probably unwilling to put a halt to this multi million pound juggernaut. It seems that too many of them are on a nice little earner and have joined all the other pigs feeding at the trough of our hopelessly inept and uncaring child CARE?? system.
Hopefully this documentary will add a little more pressure for reform, but I doubt it.

Now about all those children who are freed for adoption by the courts. Very often the ties with the family are cut in preparation for adoption and then if it falls through the local authorities don’t go back to court to revoke the orders as they should, to allow the child to resume contact with their families. They remain in a limbo. They are in foster care and pressures are put on foster carers to take out Special Guardianship Orders for “permanency.”. It’s nothing less than a makeshift adoption by the back door!

The foster carers, now Special Guardians, are in effect paid to “adopt” giving “permanency” without the permanent responsibilities of adoption. The biological family ties are severed until the child becomes 18 years old.

By the time the child reaches 18 the biological family ties are nonexistent as contact, usually sparse and indirect if at all and the child when aging out does not have a family. The biological family ties are cut and the SG’s are unlikely to want them unless they are being paid.

The child also loses out in the long term as they don’t have inheritance rights when under a SGO.

I am writing about foster carers who take out SGO’s, not kinship carers that these orders were originally intended for.

Dana you said
“children who are freed for adoption by the courts. Very often the ties with the family are cut in preparation for adoption and then if it falls through the local authorities don’t go back to court to revoke the orders as they should, to allow the child to resume contact with their families. They remain in a limbo”.

this is exactly what happened to us. we believe they took our 3 children for trivial reasons because they wanted our 10 mth old baby for adoption. but because our 6yr old son was so close to his baby brother the guardian would not agree to them being split up so they had to try for a sibling placement. at this point they knew the 6yr old would not be so easy to deal with so they isolated him away from us while the adoption plan was in progress. they used the excuse that he no longer wishes to see us. we know this is lies. when the adoption plan failed they let the foster carer keep the two boys on a SGO and now she has totally cut us off from any contact and the LA are happy to let her do it. we have not seen the 6yr old for 21 mths and the baby since the court ended in april. the LA are still keeping the lie going saying the children dont want contact and they cant force them to come. its just awful.

Sadly the LA telling the children that the parents don’t wish to see them anymore,and telling the parents the children don’t want to see them. Continuingthere web of lies to how they really took the children on fabricated evidence. This then causing trauma to the children thinking they were unloved and never wanted. All in the interest of there bank balances,it’s not about the children. I hope one day we can bring peace but most of all the children will finally be heard and free from speaking out.

Your story is a carbon copy of mine and I have heard the same from others. One wonders just how many families are told their children no longer want to see them? The trouble is you have no actual proof and you will not be allowed to see your child to obtain it. I would hazard a guess that cards are not exchanged! Certainly the social workers tell you your children don’t want to speak over the phone so that form of contact will break down first. If you are still having contact you cannot ask your child about why they don’t want to speak with you as you are told not to ask and if you do the contact will cease. Even if you manage to ask, your child will look confused.

This flies in the face of what the Children’s Act states as contact is known to be beneficial for the mental health of the child, short & long term but local authorities stop Contact as a matter of course when “permanency” is arranged, either by adoption or SGO’s.

The families cannot keep going back to court and even if they did the Judge will agree with the revised Care Plans set by the social workers. If you are ever in court, you will see the Judge never looks you in the eye! He/She is complicit. I repeat, the Judge knows what is going on and is complicit! Your case is not the first he/she has heard where social workers state the child doesn’t want to see the family. He/she will not do their own checks and see your child but will send in another social worker under the guise of Cafcass, who now works for the court. Brain washing is taking place but if you say that out loud you are a conspirator!

There really needs to be an independent organisation to check on what is happening to the kids when in care. Ofsted do checks but complaints are ignored and not recorded. The local authorities fudge the truth. Brainwashing is abuse and ironically if parents were accused their children would be taken off them but when it’s the corporate parent nothing is done! It’s shameful!

Dana what you say is all so very familiar to us and our case. yes the phone calls were stopped first after the Social worker claimed the foster carer told them that we were upsetting our 6 yr old son on the phone and it was not in his best interests so the calls were stopped.
Childrens services are without dobt at least within some Local Authorites running organized crime in the theft of children for Adoption. there absolutely no doubt in my mind.
what is needed is a Coalition of Truth movement across the country.
or something that can get this criminal network busted once and for all.
Some of the social workers at sunderland are driving £30,000 executive cars. not many working class people can afford one of those. how are they doing it i wonder.
Did you go through the 3 stage complaints procedure ?
We are now at stage 2. just waiting for the independent investigator to come in.

The social services operate differently to how the Children’s Act says it should with regard to contact. Their (social services) modus operandi is to stop Contact with a child in care. It’s nationwide. It follows the same pattern. The trouble is many families feel that it is only their family that is affected but of course it’s not.

A calculated steady withdrawal of the family from the child lessens the childs expectations of seeing their loved ones. Think Stockholm Syndrome. That Trauma Attachment happens to kids in care with their carers. The younger the child the better it works. Stockholm Syndrome had the victims knowing what they should do after only 3 days to survive. So they sided with their captors and even after being freed would not have a bad word said about them. The same happens with kids in care but for those kids who resist, they end up having mental conflicts that result in mental illness.

When I was first told that social workers were systematically stopping contact I didn’t believe it but I now know it to be true. I could not comprehend why the social services would do such a thing. My complaints were given the run around, from dept to dept, then ignored. You cannot write to anyone outside of the local authorities (I tried every single organisation I could think of) to complain because the social services are mandated to carry out government policies but there are no checks to see if they are carrying them out lawfully.

An independent body needs to be set up to make those checks. Complaints need to be investigated but the government doesn’t care about the kids in care welfare or one would have been set up long ago.

Go to any family organisation/government dept and they will tell you contact should be happening, all the reasons why it’s beneficial for the child, how you should approach social services and you do all what you should do but it makes no difference because by the time all that has happened the child is already in survival mode and will echo the voice/behaviour of the carer. Social workers then arrive to hear the child voice his/her wishes that they longer want to see the biological family. That is then relayed back to the family and the cycle is complete.

The documentary is also in English.
i was kindly sent a copy by Eric Colomer the Producer. he sent it via WeTransfer in a email. after seeing what injustices have taken place with the parents featured in the program it does make you very Angry.
in fact i was foaming at the mouth by the end. John Hemming is also featured and makes some good comments.
The English version needs to be uploaded to youtube.

And why does nobody (almost) talk of the obvious solution? “No punishment without crime !!”
A law should be passed that no children should be removed from a parent unless that parent has been convicted of a crime against children or at least charged with such a crime (and the child returned if the parent is found not guilty)
That is NOT to say that every crime should result in removal OR that witnessing a crime and doing nothing about it (baby p’s mother) a crime in itself of neglect should not be punished
Emotional abuse is in extreme cases a crime but “risk of it ” is certainly not and no child should ever ever be removed not for crimes but for mere risks that may never happen.
Yes you put a young child at risk leaving it near a main road or alone in the house all day but those are already crimes and should be punished but notalways by removal.
By and large children are being taken from LAW ABIDING CITIZENS in the UK and I defy anyone to justify this State sponsored child abuse !

i totally agree with you Ian. nobody wants to talk about these crucial factors.
Also the big money being made from the Adoption of babies and toddlers.
and the clandestine secret deals between Judges and Social workers.
why are these areas being avoided like the plague!.

I am french (sorry for my english) and I was adopting in France 3 years ago. France does not do that.
How can we explain 10 times less adopted children in France compared to England? => France = 66 millions of inhabitants, England = 53 millions..BIG PROBLEM… Obviously social services in England are making something wrong…

I am English and live in France. I watched this documentary on 14th November and felt sick with anger at the end. I would never have believed that this is happening in 2016. It’s more like an extract from the days of Charles Dickens ! Where are the Children’s Rights activists in England ? Or perhaps the children don’t have any rights. What a scandal, and shame on England and the Social Services !

We have been fighting to get our children back home but with no joy as the whole system is corrupt they treat my kids like shit they didn’t have a pool till they saw on fb we had a huge one for us and our other 2 kids

i didnt mean to be disrespectful Natasha,
i know you are working towards reform from a legislation stand point.
i was referring to hard line Activists who can stir up some real controversy over serious wrong doing that can sometimes spark an investigation.

The film “Minority Report” starred Tom Cruise in Washington In the year 2054 under a regime where 3 gifted humans foretold the future so accurately that citizens were arrested and confined BEFORE they could commit the crimes foretold ! This incredibly is what happens when babies are taken at birth from sane and law abiding mothers by social workers (supported by judges) who claim also to be able to foretell the future !

Stephen Green of the christian Voice Uk is very interested in this subject and is quite active within it.
this is a talk he did at a Maggie Tuttle event in April 2016.
he makes some interesting points. its worth a listen.

There are many places who offer help and advice. best to contact as many as possible.
Try –
Family rights group.
Families in care.
Justice For Families, John Hemming.
Facebook also has many group pages.related to Social services or children’s services.

yes James you are right again. You cant win with the current Rigged system.
many pregnant women have fled the country with the help of Millionaire Ian Josephs who runs the website “Forced adoption.com”.
When we hear rumors of Social workers, LA staff, child guardians and even childrens minister Edward Timpson Allegedly having financial interests in Fostering and Adoption Agencies you know things are bad.
if this was shown to be true these people need to be jailed and assets stripped under the POCA.

This is nothing new, England has been stealing children for decades! 15 years ago, they took my boys…. judge said, I’m a great father, just I was in the wrong place at the wrong time…..I still don’t understand it…… And yet, even from my home back in the state’s I see many children abused and even killed by Social services mistakes……why do these children suffer when mine were removed from a loving home?? There is no justice in the world…

“judge said, I’m a great father, just I was in the wrong place at the wrong time”.

you are absolutely right yet despite MPs and many other professionals flagging this up to the Govt they have done nothing. even the president of the family high court Sir James Munby has condemned this corrupt activity after it was exposed by appeal judge Justice Pauffley in 2014.
so we have to ask why. could it be because the govt are also involved in it.
the SS are without doubt using a textbook Formula to damage parents and stop them getting their children back. especially when they are seeking Adoption orders. their tactics are designed in such a way that the parents just cant challenge it and cant get any other outside dept to look into it while the court proceedings are ongoing. the whole system is Rigged against the parents. absolutely no doubt about it.

STOP social workers acting like police and leave crime detection to the real police !!

STOP these bullies snatching thousands of children at birth for “risk of emotional abuse”(predictions of future disasters that probably will never happen:) and STOP the family court judges giving away every year thousands of these babies to strangers for “forced adoption”; We must stop the snatching of kids from law abiding parents;Why do we have laws if we punish those who keep the law?There should be”.No punishment without crime !”

If we must have social workers they should be there to help and support problem families and never never appear as adversaries in a courtroom .That is the function of the police who are there to detect crimes such as abuse or neglect of children and should never be any part of the duties of genuine social workers whose real job should be to help parents and not to snatch their children. IGNORE social workers ;Never obey them ,talk to them,or let them in your house, as they have no authority .They rely on bluff and bluster to get the evidence from you to help them take your children.They make their living that way…….They will even tell you that you will go to prison if you discuss your case with anyone! That is in fact a lie as the law says that you can talk with individuals but not reveal children’s names or your own name to “sections of the public” (public mmeetings,tv,radio,facebook etc) until all court proceedings have finished and then you can reveal all !!

Ignore also legal aid lawyers ,known in the trade as “Professional losers” because they work with the social workers ,gagging parents (and children in care) to make sure the”SS” win in court Yes “free speech” goes out of the window for parents and children both in and out of our UK family courts ! .Represent yourself by sacking these lawyer/enemies who are only there to betray you.Also never go to a psychiatrist or worse still a psychologist chosen by the “SS” or the court (legally they should be chosen jointly).They are known as “hired guns” who diagnose “difficult” parents who resist the “SS” with personality disorders and so unfit to care for babies…

If we must have these biased judges (who believe predictions from absent experts over live testimony from parents) and prejudiced family courts (L.J.Thorpe) I CHALLENGE any judge to name just one situation that could justify the vile practice of authorising the taking of babies at birth from sane law abiding mothers for “RISK” of emotional abuse and then giving these babies and young children up for adoption by complete strangers .I maintain that.in NO circumstances can such horrors.be justified….

Very well said Ian.
you make a lot of sense with many of your views.
“Punishment without crime” its astonishing that the SS can in fact get away with inflicting this on good law abiding parents and then go on to inflict Parent Alienation and PTSD on the children and no one is policing it. how can this be happening!.
in the UK its supposed to be innocent till proven guilty isnt it ?

Hi I can’t mention names as we have been gagged by English courts we have 4 children in total in 2004 our oldest girls were freed for adoption in court the local authorities had no grounds to take 2nd child apparently they were adopted in 2004 but we have no proof of this never ever attended a court hearing for the adoption and the local authorities refused to show us proof we applied for 2nd child’s birth certificate it came back normal a month later we applied for 1st child’s birth certificate it came back with adopted on it can any one point me in the direction of a solicitor who can help me 2nd child wants to come home the local authorities refused to start direct contact between siblings 6 months after final hearing we got to keep our 3rd child then

It is way past time that this draconian corruption of the UK Secret Family Courts was exposed for the sham it is. It is fueled by a system of fair ground Justice backed by a corrupt and uncaring judiciary, by social workers who live in a world of lies, perjury and an adherence to a theatrical deception manufactured in the dark corners of a deranged mind. Children are abused in care, in many cases refused medical attention and examination. Mothers are accused on only the thoughts of those deranged minds, factual evidence is ignored by judges. When perjury by the authorities can be proven it is either ignored or hidden and banned from court. Police also refuse to investigate Appeal courts just rubber stamp lower court decisions without further investigation.
There is no JUSTICE, only the life long sentence of many innocent parents. Those supporting the regime are social workers, the Cafcass organisstion, court officials, paid medical consultants, corrupt expert witnesses, solicitors, barristers, adoption agencies, foster carers and the eventual adopters themselves. They all form part of the problem and are fully responsible for the continuence of the rampant abuse of honest JUSTICE.

Most children taken from parents who desperately want to keep them are removed for so called “risk” of abuse in the future;Not for anything the parents have done but for what they might do in the future! More like a science fiction situation than democratic UK !!

I am not a parent who has been targeted by the Children’s Social Services and Family Courts. However, I do have full knowledge of the system and can honestly say it is likely the most corrupt system I have ever come across. Factual evidence is never presented by the local authorities, their jerjury is rampant and when exposed it is ignored by the courts and the police. Expert witnesses employed by the local authorities lie on oath, DNA evidence that proves innocence is ignored by judges and IPCC evidence proving innocence is also ignored, both in county and Appeal Courts.

Hi yes I can’t say much has have been gagged by the courts all I can say is this apparently my oldest 2 where freed for adoption in 2003 the judge asked our manager social how long this couple to get our act together she said years suppose to months but six months later we got to keep our 3rd child then and apparently they were adopted in Dec 13th 2003 but never ever attended a court hearing for the adoption and the local authorities refused to show us proof.we applied for a birth certificate it came back normal a month later we applied for 2nd child’s birth certificate it came back with adopted on

Our 2 children was stolen from us the manager lied under oath saying it would take years suppose to months but six months later we got to keep our 3rd child during this court hearing it was proven they had no grounds to take 2nd child all because we split up they said if we got back together they would give 2nd child back but never did apparently they were adopted in Dec 13th 2004 but we have no proof of this never ever attended a court hearing for the adoption and the local authorities refused to show us proof are human rights have been breached as we was not given the chance to put a STOP to the adoption they even refused sibling contact even the guardian lied to the court my youngest if the 2 keeps saying she wants to come home but that has all been ignored the oldest one was neglected in foster care her head was full of puss and scapy from headline our contact supervisor even saw this and even celotaped them as proof but this was ignored bless her we have been fighting to get them back but the courts are curoubt as well we had a unfair hearing in 2016 our barrister wanted to ask our girls social worker questions but she was given permission to leave and we was not allowed to go on the stand this country stinks I can understand why we have them but for innocent people it is just wrong they even didn’t go round our family to see if they could have them something needs to be done but I don’t know how it is a business to them they take our children and give them to strangers how is that best for a child

What you have said here is genuine as many thousands of other parents have gone through the same Lies and Corruption.
if i had the power to Run the country the way i wanted i would arrest thousands of Social workers and family court judges along with many others and all those found guilty would be Jailed then their property and assets seized to pay compensation to all the Victims.the children and their parents would then be offered free holidays on board massive Cruise ships to go and see the world all paid for by the Elite powers.
and that would be just the beginning.

I have also been a victim of ss, however my eldest was targeted as I was due to give birth and they had their goals set. It took 7 months for them to finally take her… a year on and now I’m fighting for her back n publicly making a stand to raise awareness.

Families Destroyed by the State

I appeared in this film a few years ago (not so very new in fact !) and canconfirm the gulf between France and the UK on “child protection”
The French are horrified because in the UK the State removes not only children who have suffered significant harm through parental lack of care (as they also do in France ) but also remove children LIKELY TO SUFFER HARM ;
This has opened the door to thousands of children being taken not for anything parents have done but simply because someone else thinks that the parents are not fit and that is by french standards horrific !

Iv faced same problem my kids took a year ago I see once a month no one will help or take my story I was a victim of dv moved in own house he ki ked my. Door in torched me rang cops every time he still walking. Streets now he gets cousdordy older child fro. Previous but he’s reason I lost my kids one of which was his help me plz

Thank you for your comment and I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve been through. If you’d like some assistance you are welcome to email me at Sobk13 at gmail dot com. I’m the founder of the website and offer free support for families.

Both my children have never been home me and my partner are currently pregnant with our 3rd son in witch they
Want to give us a chance with but won’t give us a chance with the older 2 due to future risk of physical harm the system is corrupt guilty until proven innocent in the child care services and I can say we are innocent

I feel you mate they don’t care about are kids they the say they steal are kids they should be prosecuted for child trafficking coz thats what they are doing my youngest of the 2 kept saying she wants to come home i had stacks of evidence to the fact but yet again we got fxcked by the system its all corrupt mate hope you get 2 keep your son or of I was you I would contact Ian and run mate trust me I know it’s a big change but this country stinks crime without punishment that’s why I would run we have a strong case against them but can’t find anyone who is willing to take our case I wish you all the best mate

They’re doing another one before too long 😉 It’s just a shame they need your children’s testimony, because then parents are missing out telling their stories when the evidence should speak for itself. I met them both and they seemed really nice and wanted me to take part xx

Are anymore documentaries coming up. My children are stolen. The system is so corrupt. Lies. Any excuse to take a child. Where are the ones that offered millions to councils which set off this rage to numbers of kids taken now?

I believe the despicable Tony Blair started the cash incentives for Council Adoption targets.
Former Childrens minister Edward Timpson and Michael Gove have both called for more Adoptions and to make the process quicker to fast track children into Adoption.

These Adoption figures are from the Govt website.
Inter-agency adoption fee: grant for local authorities.

£27,000 for placing 1 child
£43,000 for placing 2 siblings in 1 adoptive family
£60,000 for placing 3 siblings in 1 adoptive family
£68,000 for placing 4 siblings in 1 adoptive family
£80,000 for placing 5 or more siblings in 1 adoptive family

I am one off those parents. Dear Speaker of Parliament & Children’s Minister. Help pass it on

My name [edited] I am a mother of four boys namely [edited]. I am writing to appeal and request for my children to be brought back into my care. My children have all been taken into care by the Local Authority. One of the children [edited] is up for adoption in a court hearing on [edited]

I made a mistake to smack my older son which led to social services getting involved in my family and they took all the children away from me. I realised that I did a wrong thing and I have learnt that there are better ways to discipline children apart from smacking. I have changed and done many courses on parenting skills, child growth and development, reunification, parent and child relationship and courses related to domestic violence victims.

I have tried to speak with the social worker, manager and local authority without success. I have continued to tell them that i have realised my mistake and this was a result of the domestic violence i was going through, and they have refused to listen to me. I am a changed person and no longer with the violent man and father to my children.

I have pleaded with the Local Authority to allow me to care for my children under their supervision if they still feel that I need to be monitored by children services and they have refused to listen. It is over three years since my children were taken into care and the law states that after two years in care a child may not be taken for adoption if the parents have changed and are able to care for the children again. I am not justifying my mistake, I have learnt my lesson the hard way and I have insight of the needs of my children. I just want somebody and the Local Authority to at least listen to me too. Why would children be taken into care when a parent has made a big, recognisable and considerable change.

I am pleading to be heard and considered and be given a chance to prove that I can care for my boys. I have also developed good and positive support network who are willing and ready to support me when my children are brought back in my care No mother should suffer the way I have suffered. I am on my knees, I need my children back and will never repeat the mistake which i did at the time.

I hope my request will be put into consideration. Thanking you in advance.

Thank you for you comment and I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been through all that you have. This site is not a government portal for complaints so we are unable to pass this complaint on for you. However, I would suggest reaching out to the Local Government Ombudsman to see if they can help, or reach out to an advocacy unit for free advice, like this one: https://weareadvocate.org.uk/

Dear “name witheld” fight back ! Never admit any fault .I do not agree with smacking but you broke no law if you left no bruises or other injuries so stop agreeing with the disgusting “SS” and fight every step of the way from now on .The “SS” are laughing at you for making admissions and making their life taking children so much easier !
Apply for contact to see your kids .Maybe the adoption broke down and they are in foster care they hardly ever tell parents even though breakdown happens frequently and children are handed back into care .
Remember that since April 2014
the new section 51A of the Adoption and Children Act 2002, makes provision for applications for contact AFTER an adoption order has been made.
Sometimes the adoption was not finalised and even more often the adoption broke down and the child was handed back into fostercare ! It is up to you to FIND OUT !!
IF YOU APPLY FOR CONTACT THAT IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN ADOPTED OR NOT !

We did all that and still did not get the answers we was looking for the guardian lied to the high court judge so we got no where we had stacks of evidence that our youngest of the 2 girls wanted to come home we got slapped with non molestation orders in stead our other 2 children gets contact every 6 months not allowed there phones not allowed to take pictures something needs to be done with this corrupt system even judges are corrupt

“I made a mistake to smack my older son which led to social services getting involved in my family and they took all the children away from me. I realised that I did a wrong thing and I have learnt that there are better ways to discipline children apart from smacking. I have changed and done many courses on parenting skills, child growth and development, reunification, parent and child relationship and courses related to domestic violence victims.

I have tried to speak with the social worker, manager and local authority without success. I have continued to tell them that i have realised my mistake and this was a result of the domestic violence i was going through, and they have refused to listen to me. I am a changed person and no longer with the violent man and father to my children.”

Sorry “name witheld” but this what you said above amounts to a cringing apology to social workers and not a fighting defence at all ! I am saying this not to criticise but to try and persuade you that you could be” mother of the year” and that would not change the attitude of social workers who do not care a jot whether you are a good or bad mum as they want to take the kids no matter what you say or do ! Your only chance to win is to speak yourself directly to the judge and to dispute every allegation they make against you with as much proof as possible.
Basically you have done nothing wrong and harmed nobody so it is out of proportion to take the children merely because social workers think they are experts with a crystal ball and can foretell the future !

Thank you for your comments, and I’m sorry you’ve been through all that you have. Your comment has been edited because it was a little too long and was a full account of your case, which could have breached reporting regulations. If you would like assistance from Ian, please let me know and I will put you in touch.

This is a situation only too often repeated in the UK by the corrupt Children’s Social Services (CSS). They act in a manner where any common sense consideration to give a mother/father any simple help is beyond them. They, CSS, operate a system which is devoid of compassion or natural humanity. Their adherence to rote learning is paramount, they (CSS) show a lack of personal responsibility for their actions. They follow the system built on the destruction of the family unit to supply children to the abusive adoption market. Considering they hold “adoption parties” where the unfortunate children are advertised amounts to a form of modern slave trading. I maintain any politician or local authority employee who supports such an evil system is guilty of child abuse. This is a message to all involved in this system of non-justice.

“You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul”
